I think McPhee and Dorion (sp?) both miscalculated. Lebrun said LV wanted a 1st not to draft Methot, and Ottawa wouldn't pay. In retrospect, there was clearly a deal to be made there that would have netted LV more than a late 2nd that Ottawa should have found palatable... McPhee clearly believed he would be able to flip Methot for a 1st (reasonably I would have thought) and Dorion let ego get in the way and lost a guy who is probably more valuable to the Senators than to any other team...
